The Immigrant

The Immigrant, a 1917 American silent romantic comedy short, stars Charlie Chaplin as the Little Tramp, an immigrant who gets into trouble as soon as he arrives in New York. Along the way, he befriends a beautiful young woman, played by Edna Purviance, and tries to help her after being robbed by a pickpocket. In the end, the Tramp finds a coin, gets into a humorous confrontation with a head waiter, and eventually wins the heart of the woman.
